  • Friendly New Forest campsite with simple facilities provided
  • Five minutes' drive from Lyndhurst; 15 minutes from Lymington
  • Access to woodland walking trails; half hour's walk to Brockenhurst
It can be tricky to escape the trappings of modern life these days… but Hollands Wood Caravan and Campsite is a place that allows guests to do just that. With 22 hectares of gorgeous oak woodland as a backdrop, this campsite in the New Forest National Park is a fabulous spot for stepping back and taking some deep breaths of fresh air. Stays here are on simple pitches woven through the treelines, among the ferns or out in slightly more open spots – take your pick depending on which one catches your eye. Whichever you pick, you should be treated to soothing views of green space, sounds of woodland and the chance to spot the New Forest’s famed wild ponies wandering freely. (Please note the natural terrain means that rock pegs are a good idea for successful tent pitching.) The friendly atmosphere at Hollands Wood lends itself well to many hours of chilling out in the woods – but the location’s also an excellent one for those who’d like to take off and explore more widely. From here you’ll have access to 143 miles of waymarked trails for walks or bike rides through the surrounding woodlands, or you could walk to Brockenhurst (home of several lovely places to eat and drink) in about half an hour. This is a place where guests are encouraged to embrace the natural setting in all its glory, but there are a few facilities provided to make life a little more comfortable – these include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a launderette. You’ll also be asked to follow the New Forest Code to help maintain this glorious environment, and use organic toilet fluid where possible in chemical loos.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The location with open proximity to the common and ponies etc was fabulous. The team were welcoming and efficient and it's lovely being able to choose your own spot to set up for the night. I will definitely return.

Disliked Maps of the site would be helpful - none were available.
Regrettably one of the toilet blocks was out of order due to a boiler issue which meant a longer walk to the loo block. Not a huge issue but it would have been a lot more convenient having facilities closer.

Liked Beautiful location, ponies on the common and wandering into the campsite, clean facilities, friendly staff. No set pitches, you find your own spot as long as it's 6m from your fellow campers.

Disliked Very busy at weekends. Not so much a dislike more of a comment but strict rules on open flames, no disposable BBQs even off the ground, not even our citronella candle lol

Pablo S.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Location is great.

Disliked Tried to overcharge. We carried a tent that consisted of two modules (6m x 2.5m total combined size, well within the described pitch size). Once fitted this setup provides two rooms, one body and one single entrance. However due to those modules having different colours they wanted to charge for two tents. When asked why, multiple inconsistent and contradictory explanations were given, all referring to a policy that was not provided even requested.

Local attractions

Nearby Brockenhurst (half an hour’s walk/five minutes’ drive) is a good place to stroll to – the village has some lovely pubs, a bike hire facility for woodland cycle trails and the perennially popular Balmerlawn picnic spot for a riverside snack. Lyndhurst (five minutes’ drive) is another nice village to visit, with the New Forest Heritage Centre and bike tours available. Spotting animals is surely part of any New Forest break, and that’s guaranteed with trips to places like the New Forest Reptile Centre (10 minutes), Longdown Activity Farm (15 minutes) and New Forest Wildlife Park (15 minutes). The natural world is a huge draw around here – but so are the shiny cars of the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu (15 minutes). Once you’ve finished there, head back to the site via Lymington (15 minutes), which has boat trips, boat hire and the chance to cool off in a seawater swimming pool.
